Success Analysis Protocol
September 2, 2009
Factors that contributed to successful practice:
Generalize techniques for math/reading – help with vocabulary
Collaboration among faculty members
Organized information students reflect on past assignments/calendar
Use packets to look at entire unit at once
Read alouds
Drawings – visual representation, not words,
Total and early student engagement essential to success
Second chances/revisions/resubmissions – do right first time (KLT)
Routines, structure to classroom
Give choices, say in work
Higher expectations – students will rise to them
Give students independence – more student centered
Have students take ownership of work
Find things that students are interested in
Rewards – extrinsic/intrinsic
Hands on instruction
Formative assessment/projects
Student accountability
Guided inquiry / problem based
How we might apply what we learned to other parts of our work:
Use of student pages for success manual keeps engaged and accountable
Forum that gives each person a chance to speak – dept unity
Share what works and what doesn’t
Need structure and engagement for meetings – will be used in the future
How might students use this process to reflect on their work:
Give each person a chance to speak
Sticky notes – takes time, each person speak, debrief – takes away from content
Maturity level of students a question
Apply protocol to white-boarding in class – all boards presented, students analyze strengths, weaknesses of other people’s work compared to own
Use protocol to get students to analyze their own successes in class. They don’t actually think about what they are doing to be successful. They can then apply to other parts of their lives.
